Of master and slaves
Disclaimer:I do not own sonic and the other characters from Sega; I do not make any profit out of this story, which is why it is called a fan fiction, lol
This is an alternative universe story, nothing to do with the actual story of sonic on Mobius world etc, just my own story line with Sega's characters. Pairing is mainly shadow/ sonic, I'm not very sure if I should add in Espio to make shadow/ sonic/ Espio stuff, hm…other pairing are knuckles/ Tails, Rogue/ Blaze, silver/ jet. So M rated for rape, tortured and bloody scenes…also m/m (Yaoi) pairing with f/f (Yuri) you've been warn before reading.
Summary: slave traders, slaves to be sold to royalty, the thin line between mastery and slavery are heating up, as many explicit of torture, rape, cruelties, pains and agony takes place, trust is broken by betrayal, body and mind shattered but somewhere in between love starts to bloom…
Chapter I: Two sides of the same sky
It was the same as always it has been, life was quite cruel for those with no class, while those royalty, high or middle classes get all of the comfort, respect and exquisite luxury, not knowing all of the pain, the agony or the despair with humiliation of those can not exceed those status. Those who are abandoned, orphan or poor would be thrown straight to a place so horrid that it would bring them nothing but silent cries at every night, begging the non-existing Gods to help and have mercy upon them. The begging and pleading are all the thing they can ever do, but God does not exist it is nothing but a fantasy those religion citizens follow, but now all of them are in this place in the house of slaves; waiting to be bought by richer and higher class folks or be send to death if they are not bought under minimum time given— it was sad life really.
In one of the many same rooms, it was messy dark empty full of sadness decorated with rags and worn out cloths; the three beds were old and dirty despite it was dark and empty is was not big or small, just enough for three person to live in. on one of the bed lays a sapphire colour hedgehog, he had beautiful eyes colour of emerald, he was blankly staring up at the ceiling with a train of thought raving in his restless mind. He's name is Sonic the hedgehog, only sixteen years of age, he had one special ability is his unmatchable speed to others and his unusual glowing sapphire fur coat colour.
It's been ten years since I end up in this house, ready to be sold as a slave; like I am going down that easily.Sonic angrily thought, ever since his mother died of illness and his father found him with strange power thinking it he was a demon using demonic powers, he abandoned sonic; that is why sonic was thrown into this house. Sonic however would never give up trying to get his freedom, he knew with his speed and skills he can easily get out of here, but he had something else he cannot leave here and it act as a restrain for the blue hedgehog.
"Sonic?"Sonic's name was spoken out.
The blue hedgehog turns around from where he was lying to see his friend standing by the door as the light flashes in the dark room. He was the colour of purple, and a small horn coming out where of his nose was, he is Espio a purple chameleon, he was the same age as sonic, he also had specialties that of blending within his surrounding and healing, sonic sometimes musing over why the chameleon never tried to run away with that blending in ability… but as sonic recalled he had a collar on his neck that prevent the purple chameleon to do so, sonic sighed looking at himself, he had heavily chain shackles onto his ankle, and also a collar on his neck .
"Hey what's up Espio?" sonic starts to sound cheery, giving the purple chameleon his trademark assuring grin.
"Erm…you're not going to like it…" Espio spoke softly; eyeing the floor knowing what he was going to say will not please the blue hedgehog.
"Is that so? Well tell me anyway, buddy."
"Rouge and Blaze wanted to see everyone in the hall in ten minutes."
"About what?"
"…About our next buyer…"
"You got to be kidding me…there's no way anyone would buy me, heck like I would easily give in."
"No I'm not kidding, and you know what happens when you are not bought right?"
"They can try to send me to death prison if they want, I doubt they able to catch me though." Sonic was grinning from ear to ear proud of his speed. Despite Sonic and Espio knew very well that they wouldn't send Sonic to die so soon, because of his unique self. On the other hand Espio was complete opposite of Sonic; he was obedient and quiet unlike Sonic who is wild and carefree.
"Well, that's that anyway I'm going to do my best so they might buy me…" Espio silently said about to close the door to his and Sonic's room.
"Why are you so eager to be bought?"
"How many times must we talk about this?"
"As many times it takes for you to get it through your head."
"Look sonic, I was born and raised in this house itself, and if I am bought then I belong to them…" Espio said sternly and closes the door ending the discussion, leaving the blue hedgehog alone there musing to himself.
Sonic knew he and Espio constantly argue over the same topic, a topic Sonic can never change Espio's mind he knew that Espio was serious about this. Sonic in his heart didn't want Espio or himself to be bought, trade or sold as slaves, but being in this world it was just a cruel reality to live up to it. Sonic remembered once Espio told him that, there was nothing for him to live outside there, he rather serve his master's every desire than be out there, but Sonic wanted to prove the obedient chameleon that he was wrong, that out there you can find happiness within freedom, because Sonic was once freed before…
"Sonic…?"a small and quiet voice snaps sonic out of his musing, standing in the door way was a small orange fox, with two tails he was awfully shy guy too, sonic also knew he was much younger than both he and Espio, the little fox was only twelve years old, his name is Miles Prower but preferred as Tails. Sonic was impressed with the kitsune with his genius inventions the guy was really smart, plus he was Sonic's best buddy and grew up together. He was here because he's clan was killed, and he was an orphan and last survivor left.
"Yo tails, what's up?" Sonic grins at his fox friend. "Though don't bother telling me that thieving bat and house pampered cat wants us in ten minutes, in the hall."
"…yeah…"Tails laughs nervously. "I guess Espio already told you?"
"Yeah, he did but the guy seems eager to do his best too…"
"It's not only Espio who's eager…I guess I am too…" Tails said quietly.
"…What?"Sonic flops up in shock. "Not you too Tails, how come?"
"I…overheard Blaze and Rouge talking, both the royalty and one of the noble are coming tomorrow…and you know everyone not just me and Espio are making a fuss over it…"
"Tails, give me a break what's so special about them?" Sonic said half eye lid closed, and picking his ear in boredom.
"Sonic, they're ROYALS and a NOBLE, what do you mean what's so special about them? If they buy us, we get to serve the king himself living in a huge castle!" tails was getting excited, yet couldn't understand why Sonic didn't see it his or Espio's way.
"Sure they are royal, a royal pain in the ass." Sonic snickered at this. "Seriously I don't see anything special about them buddy."
"But Sonic…" Tails whined
Sonic was about to say something when the door burst open widely to reveal a cat figure, standing there in her superior pose looking down at the blue hedgehog, who also stared uninterested at her.
"Sonikku, I take you didn't get the message I announced to Espio?" Blaze, the cat spoke seductively smirking to the blue bored hedgehog.
"My name is Sonic, not Sonikku you stupid cat and yeah I got the message but no thanks." Sonic brushes her off and continue to lie down on the bed, it annoyed the cat a bit though.
"Oh but my dear slave you haven't got a choice, so GET UP AND MOVE IT NOW!"
"Alright, dammit I'm up." Sonic sighed, getting off the bed and about to walk pass Blaze when she grip onto Sonic's shoulder roughly.
"I don't like your attitude Sonikku…so you better behave, especially tomorrow." Blazed threaten the blue hedgehog, with a firm and serious face.
"And what if I don't?" Sonic pushed her on knowing he will get into trouble anyway. "What's up with you and that damn batty girl calling me Sonikku anyway? It's Sonic, S-O-N-I-C." Sonic spells his name out.
"If I call you Sonikku that's who you got to be sweetie, but I will not tell you an empty threat…you will behave and that's you will do."Blaze shove Sonic to move forward, making sonic almost tripping down onto the cold hard floor on his face. Sonic growled dangerously at her, but Blaze kept her smirking face in place continuing to forcefully shove the blue hedgehog until they reach the hall room.
The hall was full of other slaves forming rows of lines, waiting for Rouge and Blaze for their orders and instructions. The slaves had many cruelty lives, they will only speak if they are spoken to, they will only allow doing what their master told them to do or allow them to do, they can't even moan or cry out in pain without their master's permission; they were like obedient robots following every order exactly. If they're lucky enough their master would love them in return, otherwise they be used as a bedding toy for a while then they be toss out. As slaves their master resign what they do, stable work, housework, cooking, satisfying their master's needs at night etc…
Sonic and Tails got into their line next to Espio who were already submissively, and stood like a statue. Tails did the same thing, Sonic couldn't understand why his two best pals would be so eager for royal assholes to buy them, but he thought about it now, if they were bought and he was left behind, he would escape this house of slavery and be free watching over his friends.
Sonic knew in his heart deep down no matter what happened or if they ever get separated, they would be living under the same sky, looking up at the same stars, clouds, sun and moon.
(At the castle of the king)
On the east wing, leaning on the window frame staring blankly at the surround was a black hedgehog with odd but beautiful red stripes, he just sat by his desk next to the window frame, looking out in boredom. His ruby eyes shines with the sun's radiance, as the gentle wind breeze across him, making his white silky chest fur sway along with the puff of air. He had live on this land for nearly eighteen years of his age, and tomorrow would be his eighteenth birthday; the day would only irritate him to no end. His name is Shadow the hedgehog, he had long for something interesting happen to his boring life…he of course living in the castle means he is a royal prince sitting next to his father's royal throne chair…his father is black doom.
Despite against shadow's judgement about him being related to something looking like he just risen from hell, only god knows…and knowing black doom, he's a sadistic bastard who loves to torture other seeing them suffers, he also loved getting in night stands with random female slaves for his own desire. It sickening shadow to think he is related to a scumbag like black doom, but no doubt about it, shadow had he's blood in his own veins.
Sighing shadow continue to proceed with his current paper work in front of him, laying there innocently on the wooden desk. Tomorrow and the day after would be a pain, the ceremony, all the fuss, and he especially hated all of the other region princesses who would go goo-goo and gaga on him like stupid love sick little girls, but of course they were little girls drooling over any handsome guy they laid their popping eyes on…and unfortunately shadow was on top of that list's victim. Not only the stupid princesses that got on his nerves, also some of the other about-to-dead-soon nobles that looks like rotten old tomatoes staring at his ass all the time…it not onlycreeps the shit out of shadow, but it sent chills up his spine and his fur standing up on his back. Shadow remembered one time a stupid looking smug noble grabbed his ass, shadow sent him to 5 years of hospitalising.
Shadow didn't like people touching him or getting too close to him… staring out the window once more, he just wish that he could just be out there exploring the world long to have his freedom, but he was bound to this stupid royal prison and it already has royally screwed up his childhood.
"My prince?" a door opens to reveal a red echidna, shadow did not turn his head around to see who it is, he obviously already knew everyone's coming by their footsteps and voices. The red echidna was a noble and a friend of shadow, his name is Knuckles the echidna he is around twenty years of age.
"It's shadow, not 'my prince'." Shadow blankly said. "I told you that before, didn't I?"
"Even if you give me permission it is difficult to forget you're a royalty."
"Knuckles, when we are out of the public view, just call me shadow." This time shadow turns to face the red echidna with a stern look on his serious face. "I don't like being address as 'you're highness' or anything else from my birth name."
"As you wish shadow," Knuckles smirk at the black hedgehog.
"So what is it?"
"Your father—
"Black doom, not father…" Shadow snaps his head at knuckles with his trade mark glare. Knuckles knew shadow hated black doom with passion…well not exactly that much just dislike him, but rejecting the term father was very much close to hatred despite shadow told him he did not hate the old man. Shadow couldn't tolerate black doom, but he does what he says anyway
"Alright, 'black doom' requested you tomorrow at 7am sharp at the dining hall."
"For what exactly?"
"All he said was going to the house of slaves, and for you to pick out some of your own for your birthday gift."
"Slaves? Don't we have enough slaves as it is?"
"Those are black doom's slaves; he wanted you to pick out your OWN slaves…"
"That's stupid; can't he just GIVE ME my OWN choices instead?" putting his chin onto his hand looking out the window blankly already knowing the answer to his own question, leaving knuckles to sweat drop.
"You know that's not possible, he gives orders and everyone has to obey it. His rules are laws in this land…"
"Fine, fine I will follow his stupid request." Shadow sighed heavily. "Will you be coming too?"
"Yes, he also recommended that I get a slave of my own." Knuckles scratch his head. "He thought this was a… convenience for me to get one, since I don't leave your side much."
"I see, well that's tomorrow." Shadow standing up ready to enter his bathroom. "For now I would appreciate to be alone."
"Okay, I will wake you up tomorrow morning shadow." Knuckles left closing the door behind him.
Shadow didn't like having an idea of a slave around invading his privacy, also he wasn't Black doom he was nothing like black doom, and he doesn't like to toy with other's lives like they were some kind of toy. Then ideas flashes through his mind, if he bought those slaves meaning they belong to him meaning Black Doom has no power over them as he stated when shadow was young. If that works shadow can get rid of them so he doesn't have to go through the stage of mastery and slavery stuff…or maybe he and they can run away from the palace having freedom and companion to travel with…but shadow was having conflicts upon himself so much that he was uncertain…
Looking up at the sun setting view, the colour of crimson blood painting across the sky, shadow knew wherever he goes or wherever he ends up he always see the same beautiful sky, the sky full of stars that will forever watch over him until the day he die. The day he would be finally free from this royal prison or better yet free from the cage around this world where he would be back to his sweet mother, Maria.
